About Chennai Super Kings (CSK) Unlisted Shares
CSK finished last in IPL 2025. Their guaranteed income from BCCI for the season was ₹493 crore regardless.
The Short Version
Chennai Super Kings Cricket Limited owns and operates Chennai Super Kings, the five-time IPL champion franchise, alongside international franchises Joburg Super Kings in South Africa's SA20 and Texas Super Kings in the US-based Major League Cricket. Revenue comes primarily from the BCCI's central IPL media rights pool, team sponsorships, gate receipts, and merchandising. On a consolidated basis, FY26 revenue grew to ₹697.14 crore from ₹673.80 crore, but net profit attributable to owners fell to ₹123.73 crore from ₹151.49 crore, a decline of about 18%, as employee benefits expense grew roughly 52% year on year. FY26 EPS came in at ₹3.47 and book value per share at ₹20.47, with ROE of 15.9%, together with the live desk price, these are the inputs behind the P/E and P/B shown on this page, so a reader relying on the P/E figure alone would miss that the stock is also priced at a rich multiple of its book value, and that the earnings underneath had just fallen year on year.
Why It Trades Where It Does
CSK's FY26 EPS stands at ₹3.47 and book value at ₹20.47 per share, the fixed inputs behind the P/E and P/B shown alongside the live desk price. CSK became India's first sports unicorn in January 2022, when its unlisted shares peaked around ₹210 to ₹225 and market cap touched roughly ₹7,600 crore (over $1 billion). Since then, the stock has appreciated only modestly, roughly in the mid teens percent, even as IPL media rights and BCCI central distributions grew substantially over the same period, suggesting much of that growth story was already priced in back in FY22. There is no listed peer for direct comparison: other IPL franchises sit inside larger conglomerates such as Reliance and Diageo without standalone public trading.
Top Risks
FY26 net profit fell about 18% year on year despite revenue growth, as employee benefits expense rose roughly 52% and other expenses increased, compressing margins; whether this reflects one-off investment in new franchises or a structural cost shift is worth watching closely.
International expansion into SA20 and Major League Cricket brings ongoing capital outlay and non-controlling-interest partners, adding complexity and an uncertain near-term payback timeline, visible in the growing Non-Controlling Interest balance on the balance sheet.
Revenue remains concentrated in the BCCI's IPL media rights cycle and central pool distribution formula, both outside the company's control and subject to renegotiation risk at each rights cycle.
Top Opportunities
Five-time IPL champion status and consistent on-field performance make CSK one of the most recognized sports brands in India, supporting premium sponsorship and media pricing power.
Consolidated revenue has roughly doubled since FY22, from ₹349.15 crore to ₹697.14 crore, tracking the broader IPL media rights growth cycle over that period.
Diversification into SA20 and Major League Cricket positions CSK to capture growth in global T20 franchise cricket beyond a single-league dependency on the IPL.

If you hold shares with CDSL, transfer can also be completed digitally via CDSL Easiest. You transfer Chennai Super Kings (CSK) shares to Priveq first, and payment follows once the transfer is confirmed received, typically the same day, T+1, or occasionally T+2, communicated to you directly.

- Is there a maximum investment limit?

- Is buying Chennai Super Kings (CSK) unlisted shares legal in India?
Yes. Buying and selling unlisted shares in India is legal and is subject to relevant SEBI regulations, including the mandatory lock-in period after listing, stamp duty, and depository participant charges on each transaction. Priveq's own KYC process is built to be SEBI-compliant.
- What is the lock-in period for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) unlisted shares?
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) has not filed a DRHP yet, so no listing date or lock-in period applies at this stage. Once an IPO is filed, this answer updates to reflect the applicable SME or Mainboard lock-in.
- What happens if Chennai Super Kings (CSK)'s IPO is delayed or withdrawn?
If an IPO is delayed, shares remain unlisted and continue to trade on the desk at Priveq's indicative price, with no lock-in in effect until an actual listing happens. If a company formally withdraws its DRHP, the same applies: shares stay unlisted, with no lock-in period until and unless a fresh IPO process begins.
- How are capital gains on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) unlisted shares taxed?
If you sell unlisted shares, including Chennai Super Kings (CSK), within 24 months of purchase, the gain is taxed as short-term capital gain at your applicable income tax slab rate. Beyond 24 months, it is taxed as long-term capital gain at 12.5 percent, without indexation benefit, under the rules effective from 23 July 2024. If Chennai Super Kings (CSK) lists and you sell after listing, the applicable tax treatment shifts to listed-security rates, with the holding period still measured from your original unlisted purchase date. This is general information, not tax advice; investors should confirm their specific position with a tax advisor.
- Can NRIs invest in Chennai Super Kings (CSK) unlisted shares?
Yes, on a non-repatriable basis. NRIs can invest using funds from an NRO account; sale proceeds stay within India unless repatriated separately under RBI's own limits. Priveq does not currently support repatriable investment (NRE/FCNR-funded), which would require the investee company to file additional RBI paperwork as foreign direct investment.
- Does Priveq charge a platform fee on top of the share price?
No. The price quoted to you is all-in; there is no separate platform fee or brokerage added on top.
- How does Priveq determine the desk price for Chennai Super Kings (CSK)?
Priveq's desk price reflects several inputs together, not a single formula: the seller's ask price at the time, current demand and supply on the platform for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) specifically, broader sentiment in the unlisted and pre-IPO market, how Chennai Super Kings (CSK)'s sector and listed peers are trading, the company's own recent financial performance and IPO-stage developments, and recent transaction history where deals have actually closed.
Because unlisted shares trade over the counter rather than on an exchange, this price is indicative, not a continuously live quoted market price, and the actual deal price is confirmed with you directly before a transaction closes.
- Is Priveq SEBI-registered? Does it give investment advice?
Priveq is not a SEBI-registered stock exchange and not a SEBI-registered investment adviser. Priveq Investech Private Limited operates Priveq.in as a research and information platform for unlisted and pre-IPO shares, and is the named counterparty on transactions executed through the platform. Nothing on this page is investment advice; it's information to help you evaluate a company and decide for yourself.
- Am I eligible to invest through Priveq if I'm not an HNI?
Yes. Priveq isn't a stock exchange with membership restrictions, and investing isn't limited to HNIs. Depending on the company, entry points can start as low as ₹20,000, though the minimum for any specific company is shown as the Min Investment figure on its page.
- What documents do I receive after buying unlisted shares?
You receive an email acknowledging and confirming your order, along with a deal note or invoice recording the transaction details.
- What happens to my shares or money if a deal falls through?
Because Priveq is the direct counterparty on every transaction rather than just connecting a buyer and seller, this risk sits with Priveq, not with you. If a deal falls through after you've committed funds or shares, they remain safe, and Priveq guarantees a refund.
